The 2006 GMC Envoy has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fire risk tied to the driver's door power window switch module, which can corrode internally and short-circuit, potentially starting a fire even while the vehicle is parked and unattended.
Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve this issue, as an earlier fix involving a protective coating may not reliably prevent the short from occurring. The third recall involves the headlights, which can fail to illuminate, reducing the driver's ability to see the road ahead and making the vehicle harder for oncoming traffic to spot.
